WORCESTER - Dressed in a white paper jumpsuit, a 20-year-old who allegedly shot his 15-year-old friend in the head appeared in court Wednesday morning.

Gary Goyette, 20, of 170 Fairmont Ave., Worcester, was held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for last week.

According to court records, Goyette surrendered himself to police last night after he allegedly shot a 15-year-old in the head with a .380 pistol Tuesday night.

Just before 10 p.m., Goyette headed to the victim's Hamilton Street apartment and asked for him.

When the victim, not identified in court records, came to the door, family told police it was only a minute or two before they heard a gunshot.

Emergency medical personnel found the teen conscious and talking, police said. He was taken to a local hospital and later taken by medical helicopter to a Boston medical facility. As of Wednesday morning, the teen was in critical condition, but expected to survive, police said.

Police said they do not yet have a motive for the shooting, but noted the case is still under investigation. Family and friends of the victim were in the courtroom for the arraignment but were ushered out quickly afterwards.

Goyette will return to court on July 9 when a judge will decide whether he's too dangerous to be released on bail before his trial. He faces charges of armed assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and several firearms violations.
